The mobile app many of you have been using was designed to work only with a specific version of the vBulletin forum software, and will not work with newer software.
It was abandoned by its developers a couple of years ago and was degrading over time. You may have noticed the posts about newer iPads having problems logging in; that kind of trouble was headed your way, maybe as soon as your next iOS upgrade.
Three options to replace the app on mobile
Option 1: The new software employs what is called "responsive design." It redesigns itself on the fly to accommodate different devices. It looks awesome on iPad and quite good on a phone, simply by using Safari or Chrome mobile browsers.
On an Apple device, just navigate to the site in Safari, then look for the share icon:
One of the options is putting an icon (a "shortcut" for you Windows guys) on the home screen of your device. Tapping that will connect you to the forums.
Option 2: Download an app called Forum Runner. Once installed click Forum Browser and search for sailboat. The forum you want is SailboatOwners.com 2015.
Let me know how this works.
